Problem: Why traditional networks fail you
First-generation social networks have devolved into chaos, becoming aimless and entropic, and have lost most of their original value. They treat users as products, selling personal data like commodities on attention economy exchanges, employing ad tracking and dopamine-driven engagement tactics that repel consumers.
Users lack ownership of the content they create, face risks of de-platforming, and suffer from centralized control without a guaranteed rule of law.
There is no trusted, purpose-driven network that integrates cryptocurrency incentives for wealth creation, encrypted peer-to-peer collaboration, and smart contracts for decentralized data and governance—until now!
Solution: Crypto-powered decentralized network
Cryptonite offers a fully decentralized, Web3 utility token-powered social media network that enables global innovation entrepreneurs, experts, and investors to connect and exchange knowledge, connections, and ideas, ultimately creating game-changing products and companies. The Cryptonite network is complemented by the Cryptonite Weekly Rap e-letter (Substack, with over 500,000 subscribers) and Cryptonite Live! YouTube channel, and our annual Silicon Valley Summit in San Francisco.
Steve Jobs once observed that every great entrepreneur stands on the shoulders of the giants that came before them. Cryptonite’s value comes from the industry insiders and experts who step up and teach our ambitious and entrepreneurially minded members seeking to learn. This structure gives Cryptonite a purpose — une raison d’être.
The reflects a culture that is pro-innovation, biased for the entrepreneur, clever, economically expressed, assumes intelligence, and optimized for member results, with a focus on supporting people who want to teach and learn.
Build your reputation while earning crypto rewards
The Cryptonite PRO token (CPRO) economically aligns the Cryptonite community by tokenizing the ‘currency’ Mr. Moritz refers to above. Under the Cryptonite design, members can utilize CPROs to buy, sell, trade, and reward expertise and influence across the world's most financially powerful global network.
CPRO holding members can easily filter, search, and access the network's top experts and influencers—the Cryptonite Wizards—to gain their knowledge and solicit their reviews and testimonials. (We jokingly refer to our network as the ‘OnlyFans for Geeks.')
The rule of social networks is that 20 percent of your members will create 80 percent of the value to the community. Cryptonite is designed to honor this principle by rewarding 20 percent of the CPROs the network receives each day from subscriptions and rewarding the top 20 percent of the most active members for that day.
Web3 Social: An $850 billion opportunity by 2030
Cryptonite is targeting an addressable market of 50 million global innovation entrepreneurs, developers, investors, supporting professionals, and Web3 and crypto enthusiasts of all ages, and includes the 500,000+ existing Cryptonite Weekly Rap subscribers. The member profile comprises ambitious individuals seeking expert knowledge, informed news opinion, and trend analysis, as well as career advancement, new funding, partnerships, customers, and advisors.
Global social media company revenue will hit ~$230 billion in 2025, and grow to ~$500 billion by 2030, growing its market cap from $ billion today, to $4 trillion by 2030
Web3 social network revenues in 2025 (including crypto sales) represent $18.5 billion (8%) of the 2025 total social network revenues noted above, and $100 billion (20% of total) by 2030. Applying the current industry’s average trailing P/E ratio of 29, this will value the Web3 social media sector $850 billion by 2030.
Cryptonite members also attend top industry events, including SXSW, Token 2049, The Network State Conference, TechCrunch Disrupt, Bitcoin 2025, Korea Blockchain Week, Consensus, Blockchain Life, TechCrunch Disrupt, Paris Blockchain Week, and the Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan tech and media conferences, and the annual Cryptonite Silicon Valley Summit.
Competitive landscape: Still living in the Web2 era
The table above represents our native content competitors, along with the tech coverage in the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Economist, and other corporate media outlets. The monthly unique viewers for each brand is one angle on the potential size of Cryptonite’s addressable market.
The editorial role of Cryptonite leans in the direction of The Economist newspaper. Cryptonite’s job is to curate the most pressing and impactful news and trends in the global innovation industries, providing editorial opinion and context. In two years, the Cryptonite Weekly Rap newsletter grew to over 500,000 subscribers, validating our content approach.
Unlike traditional media, however, over 99 percent of Cryptonite’s content will come from our members on the EliXr community page, which makes us more of a social network than an original content producer. Sadly, outside of TikTok, there has been very little innovation in social networking over the last 10 to 20 years, making Cryptonite well-positioned for industry disruption.
LinkedInX/Reddit: Chaotic, ad-heavy, busy, and dated. Lacks Web3 encryption, privacy, self-policing, reputation system, and reward token incentives.
Telegram/Discord: Messaging apps with communities, but lack meaningful member profiles and social networking functions.
Decentralized alternatives (e.g., Minds, DiamondApp, Chingari): Token-based, but lacking Cryptonite’s deliberate content and community focus, the CPRO token utility power, and native crypto wallet.
Cryptonite’s pioneering AI-generated editorial, commentary, and member Curriculum Vitae profiles, as well as our cross-media content and marketing capabilities, also provide distinct and lasting advantages over the competition.
Business model
The primary economic upside for Cryptonite stakeholders will be the appreciation of the value of the CPRO token. To also fuel product development, operations, marketing, and new member and Wizard acquisition, the company will focus on generating revenue from the following.
Once the CPRO is public, Cryptonite will demonstrate a 100% commitment to the value of the CPRO by offering discounts on any product or service paid for in CPROs. The smart contract is also written so that every time Cryptonite receives a CPRO for payment, 20 percent is paid out to members in daily rewards, X percent is reserved in our Treasury to maintain a consistent CPRO reward pool level, and the remaining CPROs will be automatically traded for a set of outside cryptos. This structure will ensure the overall reward pool remains sustainable, we have liquid assets to cover operations, and we do not appear to be hoarding CPROs.
Cryptonite measures its success by growth in new members and how well our network helps create meaningful new relationships and fosters career-changing opportunities and outcomes.
Team
The Crytonite team is led by Silicon Valley OG, founder and editor Tony Perkins, who has worked with long-time associate Arnaud Ghelfi, a Swiss-American Art Director and Graphic and UI Designer. The Cryptonite primary development and marketing support team is our long-time partner, India-based Maxtron.ai, and our quantum computing and AI infrastructure partner is Dragonfire. Additionally, Cryptonite is backed and supported by over 60 prominent Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, industry insiders, and angel investors.
The Cryptonite opportunity: Why now?
The lack of trust in Big Tech and Corporate Media, stemming from data privacy scandals, content censorship, and manipulation, is not going away. Web3 social networks have transitioned away from Web2's centralized, ad-driven models to decentralized, encrypted environments enabled by blockchain applications and AI.
The winning Web3 media brands will be purpose-driven, economically aligned communities with cryptocurrency incentives and rewards. Recent regulatory clarity measures (e.g., Colorado Digital Token Act) are also helping token-integrated, privacy-focused networks like Cryptonite become more possible and viable.
CPRO tokenomics: Designed to create long-term value
The Cryptonite PRO coin (CPRO) is a utility token minted on the Solana blockchain, designed to align and create new wealth for members of the global Cryptonite community. Our mint honors Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap by scaling it to 21 billion tokens, ensuring the price remains under $1 well into the future to encourage free rewards among member holders.
‘The CPRO market cap will ultimately quantify the value of being a member of the rapidly growing and global Cryptonite innovator community.’
— Tony Perkins, founder, Cryptonite
From the project's perspective, CPRO's tokenomics are designed to attract long-term holders by fostering value growth, mitigating sell-off risks, ensuring transparency, and aligning incentives among stakeholders, including founders, partners, and community members.
The Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act (passed in 2025 by the House, 294–134) grants ‘digital commodity’ status to tokens like CPRO on mature blockchains (e.g., Solana) without profit-sharing, shifting oversight to the CFTC for easier trading with protection.
Utility within the Cryptonite dApp
Initially, CPRO serves as a utility token across the Cryptonite social media network and its media outlets, allowing verified members to participate in platform activities. Cryptonite believes that the ‘CPRO-as-a-digital commodity’ proposition is very strong, as the following token utility benefits illustrate.
Platform Wallet Integration: New members are provided a CPRO wallet (by Privy) upon registration, where CPROs are stored and used in-app until external transfers are enabled.
Unlocking Access to Tools and Services: CPRO grants access to premium features, including discounted pricing on all Cryptonite products and services.
Rewarding Peers: Members can freely reward one another with CPRO for expertise, influence, or contributions, building a token-based reputation system.
Earning Network Engagement Rewards: The most active members earn daily activity CPRO bonuses, and members are compensated for taking polls, rating products and services, and participating in other promotional activities.
Subscribing to Wizards: CPRO is the exclusive payment method for Wizard subscriptions (expert-led content or services), with holders receiving discounts. Top Wizards can earn additional income through activity bonuses.
Messaging Wizards and other industry professionals: Via the fully encrypted Cryptonite Rapper messaging system that allows members to send CPRO rewards for answered messages.
Participation in Staking Programs: Users can stake CPRO to earn rewards, which helps stabilize price volatility and encourages long-term holding.
By mandating CPRO for Wizard subscriptions and offering discounts across all of Cryptonite’s products and services if paid with CPROs, Cryptonite demonstrates its full commitment to the CPRO as the ecosystem's most valuable currency.
CPRO distribution & vesting
A detailed description of the various CPRO pools listed above is provided below.
Founders, Advisors, and Strategic Partners
Cryptonite Ventures works with over 60 seasoned entrepreneurs and investors, early token holders, industry experts, and technology partners, and is subject to the 24-month daily vesting requirements as noted above.
CPRO reward program
Reward tokens, sourced from the Cryptonite liquidity pool, are immediately available for member registration and staking rewards.
Following the V1 launch, the member activity reward program will align with the ‘80/20 rule’ of social networks, which states that 20% of network members generate 80% of the value. As such, the CPRO smart contract will dictate that 20% of CPRO inflows from new paid memberships, Wizard subscriptions, and other services will be rewarded back to the top 20% most active members by rank. Further, another portion of CPRO inflows will be redeposited into the overall reward pool for its long-term sustainability, and the remainder will be traded for a defined set of external cryptocurrencies.
This ensures pool stability, avoids CPRO hoarding perceptions, and diversifies Cryptonite Ventures' assets with other tradable cryptos..
CPRO staking
To help prevent immediate dumps and align with our goal of minimizing price volatility, we will offer pre-sale and public buyers the opportunity to stake the CPRO. This includes offering members flexible lockup periods (3 months at 5% APY, 6 months at 7%, 12 months at 10%) to cater to different user preferences.
The staking CPRO rewards will come from Cryptonite Network member registration and activity, and the CPRO-staking reward programs pool
CPRO Growth Fund
This is a dedicated venture capital fund structured as a Limited Partnership, with Cryptonite Ventures Corporation as the Limited Partner investing 8 billion CPRO (38.1% of total supply) into an evergreen fund. Cryptonite founder Anthony Perkins serves as the primary General Partner. These CPROs are subject to a 10-year vesting schedule, with vesting occurring on a daily basis. Under the fund's terms, the General Partner may invest CPRO only in:
Cryptonite 300 private companies (later-stage),
Cryptonite’s 300 Companies to Watch (typically under two years old),
Selected seed deals, but only alongside Draper Associates or other top-tier seed investors,
Other professional-focused online communities, such as dNetwork Partners (e.g., GitHub, Substack), are adopting CPRO as a reward token.
From a seller's perspective, this frames the allocation as a growth driver rather than centralized control, potentially boosting long-term value for buyers through ecosystem expansion. For transparency, a detailed fund charter will outline investment criteria, with annual audits promised.
CPRO token roadmap and growth potential
Cryptonite employs a milestone-driven strategy to grow membership, network value, CPRO distribution, and token value, recognizing their interdependence. Focus areas include compliance, community expansion, and liquidity, targeting broad US/global reach, high volumes, and user-friendly access.

Crypto Exchanges
The table below outlines the nine largest and best-suited decentralized (DEX) and centralized (CEX) crypto exchange options for CPRO, based on 2025 data. These platforms dominate Solana's trading volumes (approximately $70 billion monthly ecosystem-wide), provide strong support for Solana utility tokens (e.g., SPL swaps, staking, and liquidity pools), and strike a balance between US compliance and global reach. Prioritization: DEXs, such as Raydium and Jupiter, for initial liquidity, followed by CEXs like Kraken, Gemini, and Crypto.com, and then ultimately Binance and Coinbase for broader access.
Pre-Sale Period
During the CPRO pre-sale period, CPRO holders will be subject to the following restrictions.
CPRO is utility-only within the Cryptonite cross-media community during pre-sale.
No sales/transfers until public exchange listings.
Listings planned post-last pre-sale expiration.
KYC/AML verification required. No investor accreditation needed.
Marketing focus and tactics
The primary marketing goal is to build the Cryptonite global membership, and thereby increase the value and distribution of the CPRO. Each new registrant may earn up to $12 in CPROs as a registration reward, which recognizes that by joining, they are increasing the value and power of the network. (Metcalf’s Law).
This innovative CPRO ‘airdrop strategy’ for member-onboarding will mean Cryptonite will have upwards of 500,000 CRPRO holders before we go public with the token, which is dramatically above the typical range (100–40,000) for the average pre-ICO token. Cryptonite sees this strategy as one of the CPRO’s primary competitive advantages.
In addition to this advantage, Cryptonite’s highly robust, organic, and holistic marketing campaigns are well-aligned with many proven tactics for promoting Solana-based tokens, such as CPRO. A summary of tactics include we will be deploying are as foillows:
Focusing on converting Cryptonite’s 500,000 current readers via posts in every edition of the Cryptonite Weekly Rap and segmented and targeted emails to Weekly Rap subscribers, embed pre-sale CTAs.
Use Weekly Rap and Daily Rap posts, Cryptonite Live!, explainer video clips, and other SEO-optimized content to build authority and convert searchers into registrants.
Messaging campaigns: ‘Why CPRO?—The token powering the business of innovation,’ and ‘Be a Cryptonite Original,’ supported by industry insider testimonials (whom we reward CPROs for), ‘Join Cryptonite and earn instant CPROs,’ and other use cases.
Target daily post updates to reach Web3, AI, blockchain, crypto, GenZ, and Millennial influencers and enthusiasts active on X, Telegram, TikTok, Instagram, Discord, and Substack, with hashtags such as #CPROPreSale, #CryptoniteNetwork, #CryptoniteOriginal, #SolanaToken, and #Web3Innovation.
Initiate the ‘Cryptonite Ambassador’ program, which turns members into promoters who are rewarded with CPROs for new member referrals or recruiting other ambassadors (e.g., community leaders) for organic advocacy. Use tiered rewards and gamify with leaderboards on Telegram/Discord, tracking via unique links.
Initiate free CPRO Airdrops to targeted wallets or users for actions such as member registrations, social shares, and wallet connections, which are essential for Solana tokens to bootstrap liquidity and engagement. In 2025, airdrops have evolved into ‘smart’ campaigns using tools like Snapshot for wallet targeting of holders of similar Solana tokens.
Pitch pitch crypto outlets (e.g., Cointelegraph, Decrypt, CoinDesk) build credibility and organic visibility, amplified by timed announcements around new pre-sales and the network V1 launch.
Implementation tip: Create a press kit that includes testimonials, tokenomics, and relevant data (e.g., 500,000 readers), and syndicate it via agencies or platforms like PR Newswire, coordinating with your video ads for maximum synergy.
YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram video ads: Featuring Cryptonite Wizard interviews and 15–30 second testimonials, and 3–5 minute explainer videos featuring Anthony Perkins and other editors, discussing CPRO’s role in economically aligning the community.
Leverage the Addressable ad network to reach crypto wallet holders within the X, Reddit, and crypto-native sites such as Blockchain.com, DexTools, and Polygonscan.
Expand beyond Addressable ads to build subreddits or AMAs in r/solana or r/cryptocurrency for organic discussions.
Telegram: Create a dedicated ‘CPRO Pre-Sale’ channel for real-time updates, FAQs, and community discussions. Host AMAs with the Cryptonite team.
Leverage Telega.io, a leading Telegram advertising platform, offering access to over 6,700 manually curated channels and popular Telegram bots.
Use Meta, TikTok Ads Manager, BuySellAds, and GamerAds to drive traffic to Telegram channels and Discord servers with 150+ million MAUs that are highly engaged in crypto and NFT communities.
Prioritize native token-based ads for decentralized social apps such as DESO for DiamondApp, Minds Tokens for Minds, and GARI for Chingari. For Chingari, add influencer partnerships to boost engagement, especially in India (up to 9% CTR).
Supplement with Adshares or Coinzilla for scalable, wallet-based targeting across all three platforms, and low-cost ads compared to Meta platforms.
Track all marketing campaigns with Solana tools, such as Birdeye, for holder growth and sentiment analysis.
Partner with Solana ecosystem projects, such as staking integrations or DeFi features, with the Phantom Wallet, and participate in Solana Grants and Cross-Project Collaborations. Engage with Solana DAOs (e.g., Jito, Marginfi) for co-marketing or governance, and participate in hackathons/Twitter Spaces to increase builder exposure.
Launch Liquidity Pools on DEXs: Integrate CPRO with leading Solana DEXs, such as Raydium or Meteora, to create trading pairs (e.g., CPRO/SOL or CPRO/USDC).
Publish independent Certik audits that verify the Cryptonite smart contract code is free from vulnerabilities, backdoors, or exploitable flaws, as a ‘signal’ of security and integrity, and a complement to member testimonials.
